In and Out On Friday

I got up this morning wanting to go shopping, but did not want to go alone. No one could go today so I decided to take Lena and myself to lunch. For those of you who do not know I have had anxiety problems since my mom died and I do not like to go anywhere by myself or too far from home. I'm praying that God will deliver me from those anxieties. It just came to my full attention this past weekend that I had not completely let go and given it all to God, so now with God's help I am working on that area of my life. Anyhow, Lena was tired when we left so when we got to the restaurant she did not want to stay (she was not being bad, just wanted to go to bed). I was anxious and did not want to be there myself and it really bothered me because I felt so much better all week. When I got home I decided to read my friend Jenifer's devotional blog, By His Grace. "O" my goodness, I think God just told her what I needed this morning. On Friday's she does a devotional from Psalm and today is was Psalm 23:6a, NKJV, "“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;”. Reading that verse and the blog that followed hit me that no matter what I face in my life, and there will be trials and not so great times, that His goodness and mercy will follow. So, when I have days that I feel anxious, God is with me and his goodness will follow!!! Isn't it great to know that no matter what God always wins out in the end. PRAISE GOD!!!! God Bless you all!
